Ison Slate
Ison Slate (slate.isonai.net) is the academic research workspace in the IsonAI family. Slate composes cited research reports by searching across 11 academic sources at once — including Indonesian sources rarely available in global tools.
Sources
OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, CrossRef, EuropePMC, DOAJ, BASE, and CORE — plus two key differentiators: Garuda (Indonesian journals) and BPS (official Indonesian statistics). For Indonesian topics, Slate surfaces far more SINTA-accredited local journals than international indexes do.
Capabilities
- Cited reports with a numbered bibliography and DOI links.
- Citation export in APA, MLA, Chicago, numeric, and BibTeX (for Zotero/Mendeley).
- Journal-quality badges — SJR quartiles (Q1–Q4) for international journals, SINTA ranks (1–6) for Indonesian journals.
- Consensus analysis — each paper is classified as supporting/contradicting/mixed relative to the research question.
- Evidence synthesis — a narrative summary of where the bulk of the evidence points, along with divergent findings and methodological notes.
- Follow-up Q&A that keeps citing the report's sources.
- Notebook — upload PDFs (up to 50 MB per file) and ask questions with page-level quotations.
- Library — save, search again (full text), group into collections, share via link, continue and revise research.
How to use it
- Open slate.isonai.net and sign in with your IsonAI account.
- Write a research title or question.
- Choose a depth: Quick (± 500 words), Standard (± 1,500 words), or Deep (3,000+ words).
- Via Advanced: report language (Indonesian/English), audience (academic/policy/general), citation style.
- "Open full setup →" for the full configuration — including selecting up to 10 grounding sources ("Find academic sources"), uploading PDF/DOCX/text (up to 25 MB per file), or pasting URLs, arXiv IDs, and DOIs.
- Press "Begin Research".
Slate vs Deep Research
- Slate: full academic reports — journals, quality badges, BibTeX. For literature reviews, undergraduate/graduate theses, policy briefs.
- Deep Research: deep-diving a topic from general web sources, right in the chat conversation.
Slate does not import chat conversations automatically; distill your discussion into a single research question (you can ask IsonAI to summarize it), or upload the summary as a grounding source.
Quota
Slate has daily usage limits per research depth based on your account plan; the limits are shown in the interface. Slate runs on the Omni tier.
Limits
- The Notebook currently accepts PDF files.
- Coverage depends on the academic source indexes; paywalled articles are reachable only through their metadata and abstracts.
